Ibis Styles Heraklion Central

Ibis Styles Heraklion Central

8/10 Good

"Ok stay. Very warm rooms, AC didn’t seem to be very effective. When I called to ask about it they said it was working. Breakfast buffet was the nicest breakfast I’ve ever seen at a hotel though."

Sofia Hotel

Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a nice hotel and reasonably priced. I stayed here for four days with my 14 year old son. We travelled over from Ireland. It had a 24 hour reception and the staff were very friendly and helpful. There is also 24 hour access to a computer and printer. And it also has a bar. They make food sometimes. I tried twice but they weren't making food when I asked. Though you can get food delivered to the hotel with E Food app. The pool isn't that big, but it's still nice. You can only get into the pool from 10am until 7pm. They seem strict on the 10am part, but we stayed in after 7pm without any problems. My main issue was the breakfast isn't that great in my opinion. It could also do with more fruit. It's quite close to Heraklion airport and you do hear a lot of planes and you can actually see them overhead from the pool. I actually read this before I booked our trip. The planes do get less frequent as the night comes. Tbh, it didn't affect our sleep and I would still stay here again if I ever go back."

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice 5 star historical building. Fully updated with the latest amenities. Staff was amazing. Super friendly and helpful. Rooms were very spacious with all the amenities you could need. Remote controls for the 2 tv’s need new batteries. Pool area is very nice. 8/10 would highly recommend this place. Thanks for having us !"

Lato Boutique Hotel

Lato Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, decent location close to local bus station and harbor. Wifi in our room had a poor connection. Elevators a little small, fridge in our room had a weird smell and safe was already locked (only stayed one night so didn't bother). Breakfast buffet was very good and staff very friendly and helpful. Herb garden restaurant on the 4th floor was excellent, nice view and great food."
